    … of the flower remains on the hands of the person who gives the gift … an old Japanese proverb. The daughter of a friend is a commercial florist growing orchids and brings some to her dad periodically … I was lucky enough to be walking by and he stopped me to introduce us … she made a gift of several orchid plants and here is  photo of a few blooms on one of them. I debated between using the branch or a shot of just a single bloom … the branch won.

    I got quite a few questions tonight about the settings that I use on my flowers and to be honest I normally do not even think about it. Most of the time I use either Aperture preferred or Manual settings and make the adjustments as I view the subject matter through the lens; that way I can adjust the aperture and other settings while looking at the subject, composing the shot, and adjusting distance and angle et al so that I can see what I have got before I press the shutter release. I guess I have been doing it so long that I don’t think about it anymore. This was shot with a Canon 1D X, the 100mm macro lens. F22, 1/250th of a second and ISO 400 and of course it was hand held … so much easier to maneuver around the flower. It was shot in sun coming through the kitchen window and the flower pot was (and is) on the kitchen table.

    Was truly a fun outing tonight and I got to see some other really great work. A need to put the day to rest … it was a fun day, and hope yours was too.

    Cheers … and a few smiles too.

    to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends;
    to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others;
    to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
    to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
    This is to have succeeded

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
